It depends on how much you earned, your age and your filing status. You can view the chart provided in this link to determine whether you are required to file a tax return. You also must file a federal return if:
- You had $400 or more in self-employment net earnings (gross income minus expenses).
- You had marketplace health insurance, and you received advance payments for the premium tax credit.
- You (or your spouse if filing jointly) received a health savings account, Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA distribution.
- You had wages of $108.28 or more from a church or qualified church-controlled organization that is exempt from employer social security and Medicare taxes.
- You owe any special taxes.
